Barrett, who will present his 2017 city budget Monday, said he is investing more money in the city's police department, and two new classes of police officers next year will have between 50 and 65 officers each. But Barrett said that will just keep pace with retirements.

"We will maintain a strong police force," Barrett said.

Still, he said the city will not be able to keep up with public safety needs without "more help from the state."

"It is going to be impossible for us to sustain this unless we get more help from the state in the forms of shared revenue," Barrett said, "or we are allowed to have a new source of income, like a sales tax. Mathematically, it just doesn't add up."

Former CIA agent Evan McMullin, who is running as an independent candidate for president, will be a write-in candidate in Wisconsin in the Nov. 8 general election.

"Why I am doing this is because I firmly believe that the time has come in our country for a new generation of leadership, and more specifically, a new conservative movement," he said.

Conservative thought leaders, including National Review editor Bill Kristol, searched for a candidate to be a conservative alternative to Republican nominee Donald Trump, and helped draft McMullin, a former foreign policy advisor on Capitol Hill.

"I'm the only candidate who has any credibility on national security issues. I'm the only candidate who understands how we need to reform the government so that more power is closer to the people, in accordance with out constitution. And then also, I'm the only, I believe, who has good ideas about how to get this economy up and running again," McMullin said.

McMullin's campaign said he will be on the ballot, or registered as a write-in candidate in more than 40 states by the election.

Also on the show, 8th Congressional District Democratic candidate Tom Nelson said Social Security is "fast becoming the top issue" in his race against Republican candidate Mike Gallagher.

"The distinction between where I stand on this issue and where my opponent stands on this issue could not be more clear," Nelson said.

Nelson said Gallagher wants to weaken Social Security by reducing benefits to the poverty line.

"We need to go the opposite direction," Nelson said. "We need to strengthen Social Security. We need to make sure it's here for current generations and future generations."

Gousha pointed out that FactCheck.org gave a false rating to Nelson's TV ad accusing Gallagher of wanting to cut Social Security benefits for many senior citizens.

"We are not construing anything one way or another, or making his statements seem something else," Nelson said. "He has said that on more than one occasion, and he refuses to back down from those comments."
